The "Saat Samundar" Controversy
Adding to the film's hurdles is a growing controversy surrounding its music. The remix of the legendary track Saat Samundar Paar has sparked a public debate. The son of the original lyricist, Anand Bakshi, has expressed disappointment, alleging that the "remix culture" is "dishonoring" the legacy of classic Bollywood poetry. While the song is a chartbuster on streaming platforms, the ethical debate has divided fans on social media.Critical Reception
Despite the box office noise, early reviews are positive. Critics are praising the "classy and crazy" chemistry between Kartik and Ananya, with many calling the second half "emotionally resonant." Whether this positive word-of-mouth can translate into walk-in audiences over the Christmas weekend remains to be seen.
